115 years together... and now Divorce!

Now Pat and I never condone biting. But after 115 years of someone not listening I can imagine that Bibi felt she had no other recourse to get Poldi to listen. A couple should always try to work on things.

They can hold onto the good times. The long SLOW walks together. Laying out on the rocks in the sun.

Romantic meals of lettuce.

But once the relationship has turned to biting it has to end.

It's a shame those crazy turtles couldn't work it out.

Sometimes, 115 years of togetherness is enough. Bibi and Poldi, two giant tortoises at the Austrian Zoo, are (slowly) going their separate ways after more than a century of companionship.

The straw that broke the turtle's back came when Bibi (the female) began biting Poldi's shell. Whether turtle or human, gnawing on your partner's back is a sign that the relationship has hit a bumpy phase. Staff members of the Austrian zoo tried a variety of methods to re-light the flame of love, including aphrodisiacs, games, and couple's counseling. Alas, nothing worked.
